The train was stopped at Horsley to allow emergency services to deal with the incident. The station was closed and cordoned off by the emergency services as a result, to allow a murder inquiry to take place. The suspect in the stabbing, Darren Pencille, left the train at Clandon and was arrested the following day; he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.
